General Advisory: Trough of low lies over West Bengal to Northeast Bay across Southern part of Bangladesh. Southwest monsoon has advanced up to Teknaf Coast. Rain/thunder showers accompanied by temporary gusty wind is likely to occur at most places over the district. As per the weather forecast of Bangladesh Meteorological Department, 41.5 cm rainfall is expected over the district. Besides, the district has already received good amount of rain during last four days Thus, this may be ideal condition for transplanting of Aus paddy in the main field and also preparation of seeded for Aman paddy in kharif season. Both these operations should be done after draining our excess water from the field as heavy rainfall is expected during next few as mentioned before. Because of expected good amount of rainfall, irrigation channel should be cleaned for draining out of excess water particularly from vegetable fields. Mechanical support especially for Banana and other horticultural crops is also advised for expected temporary gusty wind.

Agromet Advisories

 Advise for preparation of seeded for Aman paddy in kharif season

Aus Paddy: Seedbed to Transplanting

 If the nurseries in the seedbed become yellowish, apply 7 gram urea per sq. mete after draining out excess water from the field after the current spells of rainfall.  If the nurseries in the seedbed are not green in colour, apply 10 gm gypsum per sq. mete after draining out excess water from the field after the current spells of rainfall.  Remove weeds by hand.  If the population of Thrips and Green Leaf Hopper exceeds 25%, apply Malathion group insecticide at the rate of 1ml/1 litre of water. If the seedlings are ready for transplanting, this is the ideal time for transplanting as good amount of rainfall is expected and also monsoon will shortly advance to this district. Jute: Growing stage Avoid irrigation and also drain out excess water from the field. There is a chance of incidences of Hairy Caterpillar. Following control measures is advised. Collect the egg mass and destroy Use light traps. Spray Imidocholoprid/Chlorocyrin/ Nitro @ 1ml/litre of water. There is a chance of incidences of Semiloper.

Cleaning of the field and repair the ridges at this time is to be necessarily completed after 2- 3 days as the soil is fully charges with continuous rainfall during last four days. Farmers are advised not to burn the raw residue after harvesting the crop, better to go with ploughing the land with residue so that it increases the organic carbon and amount of nutrient in soil. Air pollution will also be controlled. Deep ploughing of the field should be done and covered with polythene after 2-3days, if possible. This will prevent crops from soil borne diseases, weeds and insect eggs will be destroyed in the soil. Send the samples of soil to the test lab for testing.

Boro Paddy: Maturity stage/Harvesting Deep summer ploughing should be done in harvested boro paddy field to destroy eggs and pupa of insects after 2-3 days Sow green manuring crop like cluster bean, daincha etc after harvesting of boro paddy in order to fertilize the field and conserve moisture in soil Start preparation of seedbed of Aman Paddy with irrigation water.

General Advisory: Farmers are advised for clean and healthy seed which should be kept ready for sowing during current monsoon season. Cleaning of the field and repair the ridges at this time is to be necessarily completed. Farmers are advised not to burn the raw residue after harvesting the crop, better to go with ploughing the land with residue so that it increases the organic carbon and amount of nutrient in soil. Air pollution will also be controlled. Deep ploughing of the field should be done. This will prevent crops from soil borne diseases, weeds and insect eggs will be destroyed in the soil. Send the samples of soil to the test lab for testing. Name of the Crop Agromet Advisories Paddy Deep summer ploughing should be done in harvested boro paddy field to destroy eggs and pupa of insects after current spells of rainfall Sow green manuring crop like cluster bean, daincha etc after harvesting of boro paddy in order to fertilize the field and conserve moisture in soil Start preparation of seedbed of Aman Paddy with irrigation water.

General Advisory: General Advisory: Farmers are advised for clean and healthy seed which should be kept ready for sowing during current monsoon season. Cleaning of the field and repair the ridges at this time is to be necessarily completed. Farmers are advised not to burn the raw residue after harvesting the crop, better to go with ploughing the land with residue so that it increases the organic carbon and amount of nutrient in soil. Air pollution will also be controlled. Deep ploughing of the field should be done. This will prevent crops from soil borne diseases, weeds and insect eggs will be destroyed in the soil. Send the samples of soil to the test lab for testing.

Name of the Crop Agromet Advisories Paddy  Deep summer ploughing should be done in harvested boro paddy field to destroy eggs and pupa of insects.  Sow green manuring crop like cluster bean, daincha etc after harvesting of boro paddy in order to fertilize the field and conserve moisture in soil Start preparation of seedbed of Aman Paddy with irrigation water. Aus Paddy: Seedbed If the nurseries in the seedbed become yellowish, apply 7 gram urea per sq. meter. If the nurseries in the seedbed are not green in color, apply 10 gm gypsum per sq. meter.
